The mining industry involves wide use of various chemicals (flotation reagents like frothers and collectors,depressants, activators, dispersants, pH modifiers, etc.) to caterto mineral processing problems. Froth flotation is a process which is used to separate hydrophobic material from hydrophilic material. This results in the recovery of valuable material. This action also called mineral beneficiation. Success of this process highly depends on the chemicals used during froth flotation. These chemicals are also called flotation chemicals or frothers. They are liquids that produce foam and enable physical separation between the minerals and the waste material. Frothers are designed to be strongenough to make the minerals float and weak enough to let the waste materialsettle down. Different frothers are used for flotation of sulfide and non-sulfide minerals.

In last two decades, the business of refining catalyst has grown from regional to global level. Refinery product values are dependent on process catalysts of refined products, petrochemical products and chemicals alongwith other refinery operations. One of the major concerns in the refinery is to reduce the sulphur content to the required limit. Hydro-processing catalysts (HPC) are primarily consumed in the hydro-processing operation of crude oil fractions. Such crude oil fractions include kerosene, naphtha and diesel. As a common practice, hydro-processing of crude oil fractionsis carried out at an elevated temperature and pressure.Hydro-processing is required to remove pollutants such as sulphur, heavy metals and nitrogen from fuel oils. These catalysts also help in the catalytic hydrocracking process to crack larger hydrocarbon molecules into smaller sizes,to be used as fuel oils. Thus, hydro-processing catalysts enable conversion of heavy feedstock into lighter products for efficient processing. Hydro-processing catalysts market is the fastest growing refinery catalysts market segment in the world. In addition, hydro-processing catalysts supplement the process control and operational efficiency improvement activities. Therefore, it is expected that the hydro-processing catalyst market will dominate the global refinery catalyst market by 2020.

The automotive industry is flourishing and the plastics industry is guaranteed to play a major role in its rise. Automotive plastics are the plastics and polymers used in the manufacture of various components of a vehicle. Originally, plastics were recommended for use in automotives owing to the material's physical properties combined with look and low weight. The use of plastic components in the automotive industry has been increasing since the last decade. Currently, automotive plasticsare mainly used as the materials weigh around 50% less than other materials used in automotive manufacturing, provide sturdiness,are corrosion resistant, offer flexibility in design and deliver better performance.

Plastic additives are chemicals added in a polymer to modify its properties. The polymers used in plastics are combined with monomeric units and are not in their pure form, but are harmless. The objective is to improve the processing characteristics and properties of plastics and to enhance performance. These monomers are known as plastic additives and can be classified as reinforcing fibres, coupling agents, stabilizers, colorants, fillers, processing aids, flame retardants, peroxides and antistatic agents. Plastic additives enable safe handling of the plastic during the manufacture of finished products. The stabilizing plastic additives are halogen stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, antioxidants and biological preservatives. Also, there are processing aids such as lubricants and flow controls.
